Egotists or Patriots?
I think - for the survival and future of this USA - you, Mr Cruz, and Mr. Rubio should be locked in a room to decide which of you two will be the presidential candidate and which will be the vice presidential candidate. I don't care if you fist fight, arm wrestle, or flip a coin, but let's get on with the show, you're giving it to Trump.
If the Cruz/Rubio (or Rubio/Cruz) team does as good a job as you're promising, you two can trade places and serve another eight years, 2016 - 2032. Just imagine what could get done! I know that both of you are Type A personalities, but so were the Founding Fathers. All five remaining candidates profess to be Christians; your bickering is shameful, your testimonies are disgusting.
Will pride keep you and Rubio/Cruz from doing what's best for America, or do you really believe what you're selling? You must decrease so that HE WILL INCREASE.
Opinion on tax cuts
Could you maybe keep your trap shut in regards to your opinion on the new tax cuts. Personally, I have benefited. Are you trying to make that blue wave a reality? You are such a moron. Can't believe I have ever defended you.
Frustrated with the media
Frustrated with the media coverage of Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) viral critique of the Republican tax bill, Rubio’s office has published the rest of the senator’s comments, which are still a scathing critique of the law. Play skeet shoot game now!
